Answer:

[tex]17 \le t \le 28[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]t = 22\frac{1}{2}[/tex] --- average time

[tex]\triangle t = 5\frac{1}{2}[/tex] --- the variation

Required

The inequality to represent the scenario

To do this, we simply add and subtract the variation from the average time.

i.e.

[tex]t \± \triangle t[/tex]

So, the inequality is:

[tex]22\frac{1}{2} - 5\frac{1}{2} \le t \le 22\frac{1}{2} + 5\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Solve:

[tex]17 \le t \le 28[/tex]
